The Key to Happiness...
My daughter would say, and I believe she is quoting, Hannah Montana, "Mom, don't get all fortune cookie on me!" But seriously, What makes you happy? For me it's making others happy.
“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”
- Dalai Lama
As we start this week with a new sketch and beautiful creation's from our Smiling Design Team. Lets all "practice compassion," the ultimate key to happiness. This can be as simple as a smile, a hug, or a friendly hello!
